Excerpt

Bile duct injury (BDI) and postoperative biliary leaks are common complications following laparoscopic cholecytectomy. Biliary damage and leaks can often be easily diagnosed by an intraoperative cholangiogram, postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTC). We present a case of a persistent biliary leak with biloma associated with unrevealing intraoperative cholangiograms, ERCPs, and PTCs. The final diagnosis of an aberrant right hepatic sectoral duct injury with a posterior sector bile leak was suspected and ultimately confirmed during a repeat operation that was required to repair the persistent biliary leak. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
